Park Advocacy Day Social Media Toolkit

With your help, we can ensure California state parks are a priority at the highest level. We hope you will join our diverse coalition of park advocates and use your voices on social media this Park Advocacy Day. Together, we can raise our voice for parks and send a powerful message to policymakers that California’s state parks are important places that need to be protected and that all Californians should have the opportunity to learn, visit, and explore state parks.
